John If. Bralnard, conductor of tha ax
I' res train to which tha wrecked private
car wa (attached, then described tha
wrecking of the car by tha Panama Lim
ited. Bralnard said that ha had cautioned
his flagman at Kfflnghaa to look out
for tha Panama Limited, as that train
waa following the express closely.
Bralnard said that his train reached
Klnmudy at li:!4 o'clock. Th Panama,
limited was due there In five minutes.
lie said that h looked out tha door of
th baggag car while the engineer Was
taking water and saw the headlight of
tha limited approaching.
He did not worry, he said, as be had
confidence in the flagman. He was as
tounded to learn later that the flagman
had not gone back more than sixty feet
before the crash came, Harry J. Boecker,
the flagman of the express, was next ex
a mined. - He described hi. attempt ta flag
the Panama limited ad said:

lantern.. The-train seemed to be three
quarters of a mile away."
Boecker admitted that Conductor Braln
ard had cautioned him about the limited,
which had walled at Effingham until the
express had got out of the way. He felt
sure that he bad run bark mora than
sixty feet, but said It was difficult to
make time over the tracks. He also felt
that he could accomplish more by 'quick
signalling than by running fax back. 1
1 Robert Stuart, engineer f the Panama
limited, was a spectacle when- he took
the stead. His 'face was' a mass of
wounds. He said:
"I could not see the tell lights of train

It waa the Interlocker signal. It was too
late to slow up when I saw the danger

more. I had shut off steam to comply
with the slowup order at Klnmudy." .
The testimony of the engineer demol
ished the Inefficient airbrake story. He
raid that his appliance was working Per

SIOUX" FALLS, i. D-, Jan. ' SJ.-(Spe-ciaU
Lawrence Beck man of Fairview
has received from his brother, Richard
Beckman, for fourteen years a mission
ary In China, the Strat letter written by
toe missionary since bis wife and daugh
ter were killed by a Chines mob. Tbe
leng Interval between the killing and the
receipt of the letter was one of anxiety
to the South Dakota relatives and friends
of the bereaved missionary and It had
been feared that he, too, had been killed
The absence of authentic news of or
from him seemed to point to this.
But the receipt of the letter proves that
he and his youngest child, whose life he
personally saved from the mob, were
alive and well on November 15, last, when
tbe last section of the letter just received
was written. Th first part of the letter
waa dated October 27, but owing to the
fact that It wee Impossible to mail It,
more was added to It from time to time
until November IS, when It finally waa
mailed.
The mission where the Beck mans were
stationed Ilea just outside the city of
Sbeng-Fu and la surrounded by a wall
eight or ten feet high. The letter re
ceived from Richard Beck man state that
at about 1 o'clock In the morning of Oc
tober SI the mob attacked the mission.
The oldest Beck man child, Belma, aged
14. and a missionary named Vatne, suc
ceeded In gtttlng over the wall and kept
sliced of their pursuers for a time, but
finally wera captured -and murdered at .a
point about eight mile from the mission.
la tb meantime those rataalelng within
the walla hid ibsrnsalvca la a small
building -Mewevec, alter all tb building
had been set on fir part of the mob
lined up around the wall while the re
maining members renewed . the bunt.
Whan discovered the Beoktcana made a
dash for liberty. Mrs. Beck man waa over
taken -and killed, but Beckman, with
their youngest child In his arms, suc
ceeded In escaping to a nearby orchard.
where he hid by standing -hi deep watr.
II was bunted Ilk a wild animal, but
finally escaped to the city. The letter
states that the Beckman dead were burled

WASHINGTON. aJn. St-James A. Far
rell, president of the United States Steel
coiDoartlon, surprised the Stanley steel
trust Investigating committee today with
the statement that the steel corporation
and the International Harvester company
have had no dealing with each other
fcr a period of five or six years.
The information, coming dh the ev of
a proposed Investigation o tthe harvester
company by congTeas, in which It Is
sought to show as tone existing condition
that the harvester company and tha steel
corporation have interlocking directors
and that the later gives rebates to the
former on steel, was doubly surprising.
Representatlvs ilcQllllouddy of Maine
questioned President Farrell about the
export business of ths steet corporation
and rebates given to certain companies.
"Isn't It a fact that the harvester com
pany gets larger rebates than are granted
to smaller concerns" Mr. McGllllcuddy
asked.
"W bav done no business whatever
with tbe International Harvester company
for fire or six years," Mr. Farrell re
plied. "Tbe International Harvester com
pany has had av boycott on thla corpora
tion. It al grew out of a controversy with
one of our subsidiary companies and the
harvester company. It-started as a mere
quibble between salesmen and resulted In
a - complete severance of buainess rela
tions. - There Is nothing In common be
tween us. Ws don't do business with
tllem i
Among the board of directors of the
United State Steel corporation srs El
bert H. Gary, George F. Baker, Oeorge
W. Perkins and Norman B. Ream, all
of whom also are directors of the Inter
national Harvester company. Mr. Gary
Is chairman of th board of tbe United
States Steel corporation and Mr. Par
kins Is chairman of the finance commit
tee of the International Harvester company.
President Farrell waa Interrogated at
length, relstlve to a reported Interna
tional ergsnlaaUen. sf steal nwautMr
urers to control th price of steel rails.
He explained that European nssneriwa.
urers bad such an .rgaaltatloti. but the
United States Steel corporation was not
a party to It. ' ' ' i
Asked by. Mr. Brail- If officials of the
steeel corporation, when they decided to
change prices, were . not bound to tell
their competitors President Farrell an
swered In the negative.
"There Is no understanding that such
notification should be given," he con
tinued. "Whenever a change of price Is
mads competitors find it out In ten min
utes. If I should meet a competitor on
th street or at lunch 1 would not heal,
tat to tell him that we were going to
make a change In policy, It on had been
decided upon.
President Farrell denied, In response
to questions by Chairman Stanley, that
the Steel corporation gave any rebates
or discounts to the Standard Oil company
on tin plates for cans.
"The minutes of the Carnegie com
pany," Mr. Stsnley said, "show that
-rebates were given the Standard Oil
company on tin plates."
"Before, or after the formation of the
steel corporation?" Attorney Reed naked.
"Afterward," the chairman said.
"Since I hare been president of the
steel corporetlon," Mr. Farrell said, "all
tin plate haa, been sold to the Standard
Oil companyandall ether companies at a
flat price."
Representstlve Gsrdner sought sn
explanation of the fact that the price
of standard steel rails hsd remained at
S3 per ton for ten years when the price
of all other steel products had fluctuated.
Mr. Farrell explained that the S3 figure
for years had been regarded as a fair
price and because the cost of manu
facture of rails had steadily Increased
no one would lower the price.
"But why don't you raise the price?"
Mr. Gardner asked.
"I believe that the prion will be raised."
Mr. Farrell responded. "I think It will
not remain at 2S a ton much longer. The
Republic Iron and Steel company,' which
has a rail mill, baa never operated It be
cause It thought the price did not bring
a fair return."
The steel ' corporation president ex
plained that tbe United States 8teel Prod
ucts company, the subsidiary company
handling the foreign business of the cor
poration, owned a steamship line known
ss the Isthmian Steamship company,
which they -were forced to build because
they could get none of the ' steamship
lines to hsndle their products to countries
of Central America.
Th export profit of the steel corpora
tion had Increased, he said, from $H,)S,M
In ltt4 t SSS.OUO.OO. in 1911.
President Farrell completed his testi
mony today. Tomorrow Richard H. Gray
of San Francisco will be a witness. He
will charge that " th steel corporation
caused him to lose valuable armor plate
contracts.
Emphatic denial that the United States
Steel corporation Is a "monopoly as
charged" was made by President Farrell.
He declared It was not th purpose of
the corporation "to gobble the export
trade of the world at any cost."
"A monopoly of the Iron and steel trade
in this country." said Mr. Farrell, "le
neither possible nor desirable. There Is
so monopoly or anything approaching it.
Since the steel corporation was organ
ised there has been much new capital
attracted to the industry and many fur
naces bare bee built which are not con
trolled by the steel corporatlon.
"It Is charged that tae corporation is
seeking to drive other countries out of
